“Interstitial Lung Diseases”  

Interstitial Lung Disease

  In our body's lungs, Interstitial Lung Disease is a heterogeneous group of noninfective lung dis-ease indicative to a specific set of signs, symptoms or other health indicators, associated with a health challenge.
  In our body, Interstitial Lung Diseases based on etiology may be categorized into groups including: idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, connective tissue diseases, vasculitis, granulomatous disease, inherited, environmental/occupational, drug-induced, smoking-related and others.
  Examples of interstitial lung dis-eases include:

• diffuse lung dis-eases
• Idiopathic Interstitial Pneumonias
  • Cryptogenic Organizing Pneumonia
  • Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
• anti-glomerular basement membrane dis-ease
• Extrinsic Allergic Alveolitis
  • Bird Fancier's Lung
  • Farmer's Lung
  • Silo Filler's Disease
  • Trichosporonosis
• Langerhans-Cell Histiocytosis
  • Eosinophilic Granuloma
• pneumoconioses
  • Anthracosis
    • Anthracosilicosis
  • asbestosis
  • Berylliosis
  • Byssinosis
  • Caplan Syndrome
  • Siderosis
  • Silicosis
    • Anthracosilicosis
    • Silicotuberculosis
• Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis
• Pulmonary Sarcoidosis
• Radiation Pneumonitis

“Anti-Glomerular Basement Membrane Disorder”  

Anti-Glomerular Basement Membrane Disease

  In our body's kidneys and the lungs, the immune dis-order, Anti-Glomerular Basement Membrane Disease is an interstitial lung dis-ease and an autoimmune dis-ease, characterized by the presence of circulating autoantibodies targeting the epitopes in the non-collagenous domains of collagen IV in the basement membranes of kidney glomeruli and lung alveoli, with the subsequent destruction of these basement membranes, and with clinical features including pulmonary alveolar hemorrhage and glomerulonephritis. **

“Langerhans-Cell Histiocytosis (Langerhans Cell Granulomatosis) ”  

Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (Histiocytosis X)

  In our body, the group of dis-orders, Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis is a major class of histiocytosis, indicative to a specific set of signs, symptoms or other health indicators, associated with a health challenge resulting from the abnormal proliferation of and tissue infiltration by histiocytic langerhan's cells.
  The sub-classes of langerhans cell histiocytosis include:

eosinophilic granuloma Letterer-Siwe disease

Pulmonary Histiocytosis X Hashimoto-Pritzger Disease

“Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (Wegener's Granulomatosis)”  

Wegener's Granulomatosis

  In our body, the is an angiitis dis-ease, Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (formerly known as Wegener's Granulomatosis) is a systemic necrotizing anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitides, usually associated with an interstitial lung dis-ease, and with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA). **

“Radiation Pneumonitis”  

  In our body, Radiation Pneumonitis is a radiation-induced injury. **
